Today’s Magic Words: Wet & Chilly
Yep. It rained last night. And this morning… We’re in Chelsea on our way to the Amana Colonies (we’ll be riding through 3 of them). It’s just cold and wet enought that I’m wearing sleves but warm enough that my rain coat seems like too much.
Last night was something of a debacle as we tried to get a shuttle from Tama to Toledo for dinner. The shuttle took us all over and people were getting a little testy - funny, when you think about it - to get upset that a shuttle is taking so long when you’re taking an entire week to ride your bike across Iowa. I had a strange, but surprisingly good meal out of a buffalo hotdog. I don’t think I’ve ever had buffalo, and though there was a choice between hotdogs and burgers, the guy at the counter recommended the hotdogs because “they’re different and really good.” He was right. Very different - the flavor is…. darker… not gamey…. I don’t know exactly how tot explain it. the texture was different too. Apparently they were the best though, the guy who made them has won a number of prizes for his buffalo hotdogs. (Odd, I never thought of there being such a thing as buffalo-hotdog contests!)
Anyhow, somewhere between Tama and Chelsae (about 25 miles or so) my computer must have had a blip. It’s only reading 13 miles. Oh well.
On a completely different note, A woman from my church (Name: Myra) is going in for surgery today. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Grace and Peace,
